SNUFFALUFFA-WHA???!!!
December 14th, 2009 - 40 Comments »
Ok, I really couldn’t resist, but doesn’t this mohair jacket totally look like what Snuffaluffagus would be made of? I gotta say, I always thought Snuff was the coolest muppet on Sesame street because <hello!> it’s a WOOLY MAMMOTH. Anyways, enough of this before I veer off onto a tangent, so random and useless that I may never come back. Other than the jacket being a really great shade of brown and hairy (I like textures remember) it’s also surprisingly warm! Isn’t it grand when you find something that pleasures both the eyes and the senses?
I was playing around with this jacket and a few other things that I got from Value Village on Saturday. I hadn’t been in so long that I was uber excited to see what I could find. I plowed through the jacket section and probably picked up enough to fill a shopping cart…but alas just came out with two, this being one. I’ve been feeling like I want to revisit Mary Kate’s hobo/gypsy/bag lady look again. Have i mentioned that she’s one of my all-time faves? Well anyways, I think this a step in the right direction. Looking back at a lot of my old posts has made me realize how all-over-the-place my dressing is. So I guess I shouldn’t feel so bad when people ask that oh-so formidable question: ‘what is your style’. Me: ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Oh and I guess you can’t really tell from these pictures but we got our first snowfall today and it was really beautiful. Thank god for me that it didn’t stick, otherwise it would have been preee-ty hard to take pictures. Can you believe it’s so close to Christmas already?? And then New Years? I think my favorite thing to do during the festive season is to walk around downtown and through the malls. The Christmas spirit–albeit more and more manufactured each year–still puts a big ass smile on my face. HAPPY FESTIVUS!
Let’s all be merry and be friends on Bloglovin & Twitter <tweet tweet>

Totally want your MJ bag and love that jacket- fabulous find! MK is up there for me too as one of my style icons
love the jacket, love the bag… but for some odd reason love your turban even more!
this is SERIOUSLY beyond perfect, it’s been forever since i’ve seen something thats blown me away like this. even printed a picture and put in my wardrobe door.. in a non stalkerish kind of admiring way.

So funny coz even though i totally know that snuffalaffagus is a wooly mammoth I didn’t really think about it until you said that!!?? Crrrazy! As for you and your outfit…that first photo is sublime! just perfect with your turban. I agree i loved MK’s bag lady look even though she got lots shit for it. This is a perfect jacket for snuggling up in now it cold where you are. Can’t wait to see how your business ventures go that you have been talking about. xKatex
i love that DIY!! i need one too
That jacket is such a great find! Love the fuzziness of it. And isn’t the first snow of the year just the best? We had ours the other day too, and it just instantly put me in the holiday spirit!

love your headband!
btw, you’re such a stunner
I love your look. you always look so amazing and you have an amazing collection of shoes that I am constantly drooling over!
love, dayna
I love that each of your outfits are so different. The wide leg trousers are so offbeat compared to what I’ve been seeing lately, and they are so classic. Great find on the snuffy sweater too!
Also, thanks for checking out my blog! It is always wonderful to hear from prominent bloggers like yourself. I do try to stick to my guns on what I post, posting what I like and what I feel, so thanks for noticing. As for the “black hole effect” of fashion blogging, I’ve been just trying to tune those ones out lately, sticking to the ones that truly are inspiring, and also trying to tune out my own analytics and visitor counter. Sometimes I get too caught up in the stupid stats.
Thanks again, you’re definitely an inspiration!
